Persist OpenGL context creation flags

This commit persists OpenGL context creation flags from previous window
build attempts saving time in multiwindow context.

It also creates window as srgb by default, since it's what Alacritty is
rendering in. For reference [1] and [2]. Moreover the fallback for 10
bit colors is also added.

[1] - https://github.com/alacritty/alacritty/issues/4939 and
[2] - https://github.com/alacritty/alacritty/issues/3756.

Fixes #4703.
